G EORti IT FARM E RS.
OI FETED 1,000 DOLLARS IN GOLD Felt
THE BEST ACHE OF COHN.
Society The Georgia State Agricultural
offers a prize of $1000 fertile
largest yield of corn on one me as-*
tired acre. It seems the American
Agriculturist, the oldest and most
widely known agiicultural monthly
magazine in the world,* tf-rs four pri¬
zes of $000 each for the largest yield
per acre respectively of torn, wheat
oats and potatoes. If tlie American
Agriculturist first prize of $000 for
the best acre of corn i s taken by a
Georgia farmer, our State Agricul¬
tural .Society will duplicate that a-
mount, giving an equal in addition to
it,making the total cash attainable for
the best acre of corn if grown in Geor¬
gia, $1000. If this premium is not ta¬
ken, the State Agricultural Society
will give $100 for the largest yield
of corn obtained in this competition
by a Georgia farmer.
The contestants will be provided
by the American Agriculturist with a
book in which to roakt out their re¬
port ol tire crop in answer to certain
question. These reports and tlie work
of the experiment station will be pub¬
lished in the American Agriculturist
next winter, This will be a grand ad¬
vertisement for the State. Indeed.the
offer made by the Georgia State Ag¬
ricultural Society lias already attrac¬
ts 1 wide attention among the best'
classes of farmers through the North
and West.
We heartily indorse the idea that if
Georgia captures the American Agri.
cultuiist’s first prize for corn it will
be a greater advertisement of our re¬
sources than many times $500 ex¬
pended in ordinary advertising. Jt
will convince the progressive far me i 9
of other sections that Georgia is a lar
better agricultural State than many'
of them think. It is the duty of every
progressive farmer in the Stale to put
forth his beat efforts secure this grand
prize of $l,r00 for the best acre f
corn, not only for his own sake, but
for the sake of tlie State. Even if he
doesn’t get the first prize he may se¬
cure the secondary prize of $100 of-
fered by the Stite Society or some of
the many and very liberal special pri¬
zes, The full particulars of tills re¬
markable enterprise will l e furnished
free, inclu ling a copy of the AgricuN
tuiist. to all Georgia farmers who ap¬
ply for it by addressing the “Amer¬
ican Agric dtiirist, 751 Broadway*
N6w York.” A circular giving tlie
particulars will also be sent to Geor¬
gia farmers who apply to Col. W. J
